"Heavenly Forest" is about a photographer named Makoto, who travels to New York during Christmas to look for his best friend, Shizuru. The two first met when Makoto attended his university entrance ceremony. Makoto tends to shy away from other people but Shizuru managed to make him open up to her.

Because of their friendship, Shizuru also ended up taking an interest in photography and the two often went to a forest to take pictures. Shizuru wants nothing else but to be by Makoto's side so when he started liking another girl called Miyuki, Shizuru decided that she too will like Miyuki and becomes her friend.

One day, Makoto asked Shizuru what present she'd like to receive for her birthday. Shizuru, who wanted to enter a photography competition, had an idea to take a picture of the two of them kissing in a forest. Makoto agreed to do this and the two kissed for the very first time. Ever since that day, however, Shizuru disappears from Makoto's life.

The ending is quite similar to that of Heavenly Forest. Starts off innocently and then the major twist takes place. I am sure fans of 20th Century Girl will like this one!

Both movies have similar complex love stories and interesting characters. They are both a bit sad but definitely worth watching.

They are both very romantic and have the same feeling of love. They'll both make you laugh and cry sometimes at the same time.

They're both based on school/college students and give off a warm vibe. Not to mention the similarity in terms of heartbreak and disease.

Heavenly Forest and 20th Century Girl both have strong friendships and a young innocent love story between a guy who in one case opened up to no one and in the other never smiled ... until meeting the female lead. Both involve a lot of photography/filming, and as such, the cinematography of both is beautiful (as are the cast members). A sudden disappearance causes anger and heartache in the one who suddenly is not able to contact the one they love. There are overlaps that do not correlate between the same character (ie both have someone who is ill but the character is not in the same situation).

In both, you'll see heartwarming friendships, a friends-to-lovers situation, a bit of a love triangle (though they play out quite differently and Heavenly Forest's isn't as emotionally volatile, likely because they're in university, not high school), and situations that could make you cry (or not depending on your emotional fortitude/resilience).

Both star Miyazaki Aoi. Both begin with a boy taking photo of a girl. Both are about boy inspiring girl to be an artist. In both, one of them flies to another country to meet after parting ways.
